The discount you get is on a sliding scale and you will never get the house for less than it cost to build. Also most authorities will have set a maximum discount that you can get and its not nearly as high as you quote.

No reason to be put off by threads like this. I've been posting less and less here on account of enjoying my new life here - suspect the same is true for lots of people. But when you're busy wallowing in it, there's really nothing better than an internet forum and a group of fellow inadequates.

Life's what you make it... It really doesn't matter where you are at the end of the day - these people would moan in the UK too, which is why they moved here in the first place.. now they're here, they're moaning here too! It's all about where you are in your head.
